I think you can't really blame Cygwin in this case because Elephant uses the native BerkeleyDB Windows library although a Cygwin version is available: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/build_win/intro.html It'd probably be better to change the build process and use that one, but I haven't tried. The downside might be that you can't use the resulting DLL in a non-Cygwin environment anymore. My preferred solution would be to distribute Cygwin-independent pre-compiled DLLs (maybe generated with Visual Studio) for memutil and db-bdb like CLSQL does it. Experience shows that "automatic" command line builds of C programs on Windows almost never work and Windows users are neither prepared nor willing do dig into this stuff. _______________________________________________ elephant-devel site list elephant-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/elephant-devel
